Milnthorpe, and more gallery information

September 28th, 2007 Posted in Admin, Animals, Wandering

Its been a while since I updated here but a lot has been going on. I have continued to slowly sort out the gallery here as I said I would way back when. I’ve uploaded the archive from a selection of years. I keep meaning to do more but the uploading takes quite a while. I should do it when I’m at the university some time!

QuarryAnyway my real reason for posting; my parents and I went on a nice trip to Milnthorpe, and surrounding area. We actually ended up in Grange-Over-Sands for a nice meal in a lovely coffee shop overlooking the bay. I saw a pair of RAF Tornados too, but no photographs. We came back through Arnside, and then Milnthorpe, through a piece of land belonging to a stately home Dallam Tower.

DeerThe grounds were *full* of deer, and I mean full. I have never seen so many. They were really cute, young deer bouncing about drinking from the river. I got some pictures but they aren’t fantastic, the light was terrible and I was having an attack of the shakes and no tripod. Still I got some pictures and the deer are lovely so I thought I would share.

    Hm, grid reference I don’t have. I found a scientific paper which suggests it might be SE 12327 and describes it as “North of Hebden Bridge”.

    I *think* that this is it :-
